64. Usually fur coats are made from animals we don't eat.
Leather is dofferent to me because we use the cow for many other things. Minks, etc. are killed strictly for fur. And I am guessing it takes a lot to make a coat.

My grandmother wanted me to have her mink coat that my grandfather bought her years aog. I took it because I didn't want to hurt her feelings, but I gave it away. I just can't do fur. I do eat meat and wear leather, I just feel like fur garments take it a step too far. At least for me.
